Contents:

true singing is a different breath, about nothing

...so we live here, forever taking leave

All things want to fly

...though the pool's reflection often blurs before us

Every angel is terrifying

All that's hurrying will quickly be past

Be forever dead in Eurydice

another elegiac

from which flit ecstatic butterflies

...through a glass mountain

...and those who are beautiful, oh who can retain them

...learn to forget that passionate music

May his memory be a blessing.
